I'm liking Durarara a lot more than I thought I would! I know who all the characters in the opening sequence are, which is a bit of a surprise since there were like 15. The structure of the episodes also feels really fresh, and the ways each plot arc intersects with another keeps me excited. The modal jazz soundtrack is... unorthodox, but it'll do, and the ending theme is annoyingly catchy if a little generic.

All in all superb so far! I don't usually like "myth arc" shows much, but this one's been really good.

It was pretty good. Reminded me of Ghost in the Shell quite a bit (what with an elite special forces unit combating terrorists in a futuristic society).

There's a 2004 Appleseed film done in CGI that's also well worth watching (and its sequel, Appleseed Ex Machina). Its not exactly a remake, more a re-interpretation - they're both adapted from the same source manga.

That's actually the one I was looking for (I remember seeing it at Wal-Mart a few years ago), but YouTube only had it in Russian.

I found out that it was created by Masamune Shirow, though, so the similarity I noticed to Ghost in the Shell in style wasn't just coincidence, lol.

BTW, there's also an even earlier work of his on YouTube, called Black Magic M-66 (despite the title, it's a sci-fi flick, like his other work), and it's pretty good as well.

Just finished up chapter 525 of Bleach, myself. Kenpachi is slowly getting stronger (or more accurately, slowly releasing the mental shackles he subconsciously put on himself, in order not to completely obliterate any opponent he faces) in his training against Unohana.

yeah durarara is one of those unique animes that are more like realistic then fictional story or something quiet fun non the less to watch could of had a few more episodes though D=

Pretty good film, with some stuff for everyone. A tale of a resistance fighting an overbearing empire, some steampunk elements, feudal Japanese warlord society, magical telekinesis fights, a little romance, and mechs (magical dragon mechs at that).

Durarara is... realistic? I thought it was the complete opposite!

Also, my ipod seems to be on its dying days so I might not be able to use it for much longer. Is there a way to watch anime on the 3DS? I think someone brought that up a while back. Otherwise, I might have to get a new ipod

Your more of a trooper than I am, Konata. I couldn't make it through the first episode, I felt like the fanservice just killed it.

I guess (For me anyways) since I'm a girl I can tolerate it more, I just tried to ignore it all together. I mean if my brother watched it, I would seriously unplug his computer and throw it in a river.

Am I being sexist?
Eh I don't know. All I know is that ill make sure not to watch any more Fan service anime, I think I can only tolerate It once :3

...seriously, if you haven't, watch the series. While it has its ups and downs (Really rushed in the middle at least), it's much better than the film.

If I ever get a new iPod (or tablet) I'll look into the series. It's just that I only have access to YouTube (on my brother's 360), and since it's so hit & miss finding videos there, I'm sticking to whatever OVA's and films I can find, so I can finish a story in one sitting.
